Remember Eden Prime!
It seemed like the Alliance have trouble to responding to an invasion force attacking a major colony world. They could only send one Frigate which already was extremely fast for its era.
They send any frigate to aid the colony. The Normandy just happened to be heading there anyway, and it was all over before reinforcements could have arrived.
Your not getting it still. The colony was getting invaded by a large enemy force decimating their defenses and killing civilians. Obviously their communications were downed and they likely couldn't detect their enemy before actual fighting. Only one transmission was sent out and only the Normandy caught it. No one else was going there but the Normandy.
If the Collectors attacked their wouldn't be time for transmissions. Seeker swarms could have easily swarmed over major human population centers and taken them out. Even if a fleet wanted to head their they wouldn't get their in time.
Remember hero shepard had to personally hold off the Skyllian blitz until an Alliance fleet could take out the pirates that nearly decimated the entire colony and those were just pirates and slavers. Colonial Shepard's family was killed by pirates because the Alliance was to late to save them.
The Alliance doctrine is based off of let the minor garrison defend the planet until a fleet can secure it. Obviously its imperfect since colonies are either destroyed or saved but barely. An organized military force such as the Geth and Collectors would be far more effective at taking out a colony quickly.
